Boss timers - IDEAS FOR RYZOM - Ryzom Community Forum

#16 Added by Daomei 10 years ago [en]

A short word to randomness: Sure computer based random algorithms are not really random in a mathematical sense. And, along with bugs, they may be compromised and the knowledge won therefrom be exploited. I want to add that such kind of hacking requires elaborate cryptographic and programming skills.

But please mind what you are thinking and telling here: You are suspecting fellow players an activity which is not only in violation of the EULA, but may constitute a criminal offense in addition.

Cheating that way (if possible altogether) would end up in immediate termination of the account, forbidding the perpetrator any future use, and possibly even lawsuit and/or criminal prosecution.

So if one believes to have reasons for such a suspicion, contacting a CSR and discussing the issue with her/him would be the better way than spreading accusations which are likely to hurt and insult those who put much effort and risk into their scouting and hunting task.

@Lac, Pappa:

To be fair, at certain times of the day you can't find 9 people for a Pei-Ruz team, even when accounting everyone online, ignoring faction.

I'm very skeptical about bumping the difficulty of boss kills.

And anyway, this is a tangent from the initial topic :)

Yes I understand . But keep in mind this boss spawns every hour.

but you whine about others that do getting them. According to you it is unfair that players who spend all their time hunting get most of the bosses. Ummmm....
He is not whining Lac - just pointing out that maybe game mechanics could be adjusted - I am surprised at you going for a troll-attack here :(

I am not trolling, Bina. I just dont agree with him. But posting a thread on the forums based upon a rumour, is a bit much.

Those that spend all their time hunting will get the bosses. I fail to see what is wrong with that. The solution to the distribution of bosses is easy, more people hunting.

So basicly you´re saying: Spend 95% of you´re time online for hunting, or dont hunt, dont get "high level content".. ok...
all im trying to point out is fairness.. People dont even get a chance at hunts, and to reply on you´re earlier post lac, yes i do hunt, but not all the time. and at a certain point it makes no sence for me to do it anymore, since i wont have a shot at it anyways.

Nope. I am saying play the game the way you want to play it, but let others play it their way too. I do not see how you can complain that it is unfair because they chose to spend their game time hunting. That is like complaining that people who spend all their time grinding get all the levels. But to also use the forums to spread on a rumour is a bit rich.

Not such a good analogy - being as grinding levels only impacts on that toon ...

This idea of "I'm offended". Well I've got news for you. I'm offended by a lot of things too. Where do I send my list? Life is offensive. You know what I mean? Just get in touch with your outer adult. (Bill Hicks)

It was meant as a dumb analogy.

Well, grinding spots are also contested at times. But ok, a better example may be PR sup and exc spots. Those spending their time to check for high grade mats, feeding themselves to KP, will get it, those with less time and motivation won't.

The idea here from beginning is More people on shard: accelerated spawn time, less people on shard: slower spawn time, I honestly dont get the flaming against me for making the "routine hunting" different. Sure i could start asking every one.. Ohh when did you kill that, ohh when did you kill that, and start scouting those spots all day long after 36 hour down time. But how can i get in to it when i have no idea where to start. I honestly cant see a reason to troll me if you say you are just activly hunting. OK then to make it fair, When a boss is killed, an auto post on forums. better?

lol so you want ppl who scout post on forum the boss down and time? hehe

Pappa if you really want to hunt start scouting and do like all who scouts.I scout and there are weeks that dont get nothing that dont mean that i will make a post and ask DEV to change, will just keeping scouting and hope for good luck and if i find i note it down but thats does not sure me that i will get him back, so thats scouter life + to scout need dapps alot if you scout like some ppl who do all day cause they just love it as i do also and many of us we share our hunts,so lets stop talking crap and start scouting who wants a boss 3/4 o 5 times a day,with this hope i dont offend non if yes my apologise:)))

Ok i get it. fine, i give up.. just keep in mind that if you want game to grow, people must have a slight chance, thats why i started this post. Then let me fall back to other idea then, make all bosses (high end atleast) harder, so say you would need a full group or 2, HA npc have same spawn time no? they need 15-20 people atleast..
- Less mats for 2 more mats for all.. we all live on this bark together.

I think you need to look up what trolling means, Pappa. You are not being trolled. Just because someone does not agree with you does not mean you they are a troll. No one is arguing against your idea, but your logic about fairness and you were the one that started the aggressive posts in the thread, so don't start crying about that.

As virg said, its not for me, tbh, i can do other stuff, think of the community, its not just about "my mats" "my boss". its about being able to share, making game nice for everyone, bringing people along, thats why atleast making bosses harded is a potential idea.instead of being selfish since you decide you want to spend hours and hours just checking boss spots, while someone else would check one time a day.
Please dont miss to see the point here.. we´re a communtiy..
